The implementation of the One Rank One Pension (OROP) for retired defence personnel may be delayed further. The Committee formed with Justice (Retd) Narasimha Reddy as the Chairman to look in to the matter was to submit its report on 14 June 2016. But the government has extended its term for six months more, which means that they have time up to 14th December 2016. The delay could have been avoided, since large number of the defence retirees are eagerly waiting for the decision for years together.

The government has also not taken decision on the recommendations of the VII Central Pay Commission with regard to similar pension for the civilian employees.

On the one side the government calls for quick governance, but its own actions are delay in decision making.

Months back, the Labour Minister has announced that minimum wage of Rs. 10,000 is decided for the contract workers. This is far less than the Rs.18,000 demanded by the Central Trade unions and they have protested fixing the minimum wage at Rs. 10,000.

But even what it has announced, the government has not issued orders. This is inexcusable.The government is only making announcements and not implementing them.

In the website of the NFTE  it is published on 27-05-2016 as follows: “ NFTE’s participation in JAC and Forum of BSNL unions and associations will remain suspended till holding of National Executive meeting of NFTE.”

We do not know what is the reason behind such a decision. However, we hope that the NFTE National Executive will take a positive decision to continue with Forum and JAC and participate in the struggles of the BSNL employees for the revival of BSNL and for the demands of the BSNL employees.
